Classless BESM d20 Game [Closed] (Calling Kyloss, Candide and rangerjohn)

Eh, Kal knows I'm interest, but I suppose I should post official notice and concept.


John Tyler, in a desperate attempt for tuition money, signed up as an experimental test subject. The experiment was to try and remove good and evil from a person.

Now, like many people he has two little voices whispering advice in his ears, one good and one bad. Only, in this case, John isn't the only one who can see them. The experiment managed to create a little devil and a little angel that live on John's shoulders. They bicker, they make wisecracks, and they generally make John's life difficult.

Is he as strong as he looks? Or do his powers derive from his name. I.e does he shoot lightning? Or some combination of the two? I'm not asking for an exact build, just something where would wouldn't step on each others toes.

Hi Rangerjohn! Sorry I talked with the others in chat and hey knew of my concept. Sparky is the (failed) result of a genetic experiment to create humans that could wield awesome magical powers. He's not that strong, because he's small (about 4'), he only looks buff because his body stores energy in a different way than fat.
Here are his powers anyway (Kal take a look around for anything you don't like, it should sum up to 70 CP):

(1) I can power up with electricity every device I touch, up to the normal limits of Environmental Control.

(2) Attuning to earth's magnetic field, I can pinpoint exactly where I am every moment, like a GPS system. Likewise, I always know where magnetic North lies.

(3) I can emit a wide range of electromagnetic radiations, emulating for example a radar signal, a radio transmitter, or a cellular phone.

(4) This power suffers from Detectable I and Activation Time I defects. It takes a round for the energies involved to start working, and its usage is signaled by my spots that brighten up and change color.

(5) My force field covers my body in a tranparent shimmering shell, as my spots flare. (Personal Field version and Detectable I defect)

(6) Transmutation too suffers from Detectable I defect. The spots on my body darken as the ones on my hands and arms shine more and more. I can't change the mass nor the composition of what I transmute, and I usually work only on technological devices or tools.

(7) I have yet to decide when that happens.

(8) Sensible to the least magnetic traces, my hands can read into the story of an object up to a year back.

(9) This only works on willing people who touch my hand or one of my spots. I can send and read little neural impulses, allowing me to talk without using voice, or project images and sounds in one's head.
 

Hey, if it's cool, could I get in on this too? I've been thinking about this character concept for anime d20 for a while, and was hoping to implement it.

Genryu- The shadow dragon.

Originally from ancient japan, the daughter of a ruling feudal lord, she was abducted by an invading force of monsters and demons, taken back to the invading forces home, the Netherworld.

Raised in the Netherworld, she served under the overlord there, where she trained in the use of a dire two-handed axe, developing an ultimate and devastating technique for assassinating even the most powerful of generals that would oppose the overlord.

Dressed in a black silk haori and hakama with decorative black satin serpentine dragons that coil all around it (think hot female samurai dressed all in black), she was named Genryu, or the Shadow Dragon, for her control over shadows and her axe, the blade of which is held by the great open maw of a fiendish looking dragon.

I can have the stats up soon, I just have to do some extrapolation from an npc that she's based on.
 

Heh. I like all the concepts presented so far. And so as not to unfairly disadvantage Zack, rangerjohn or Imerak, I'll give them a week to get their concepts together if they want in.

(So basically everyone who's posted so far showing interest has a spot and I'll close the recruiting here)

In:
Lichenhart
Soda
Festy_Dog
Hafrogman
Zack
Imerak
Rangerjohn

well, the points are spent and the character is built, except for skills. I purchased 8 +int, and haven't put skill points into anything, but I will be focusing on melee attack (ax focus), melee def (ax focus), and ranged def (axe focus), jump, tumble, hide, move silently, and a couple points here and there, probably in knowledge or language.

Genryu (human, incomplete training on bonus skill points)
170 cp (+4 human +11 bp totals to 185 cp spent total)
6 feats
3 stat points

Rank 2 environmental control (2, darkness) (4 cp),

special movement 3 (dimension hop: shadow pocket dimension + material plane; wall bouncing) (3 cp)

heightened senses 1{spirit sight (can detect the energy given off by living creatures)} (1 cp),

Pocket Dimension 3 (4, travel through shadow) (12 cp),

12d8 hd purchased for 24 cp (102 hp)

attack combat mastery, +10 (30 cp)

forcefield 1 (2 cp)

Personal Gear (1 cp) Darkmaw (1d10 ax) +cool clothes

magic 5 (20 cp, 67 ep, 50 mp to spend)

(wish list- (drain body (dex) (+2), linked (pocket dimension) (+1), accurate x3 (+3), homing(+1), no damage (-1), short range(-1), slow (-1)) {r-5, 5 cp} (3 ep)

special attack- Cataclysm (while in the shadow dimension (my pocket dimension), a series of powerful blows knocks my opponent into the air, with me following him, striking again and again)
(wish list- 2d8+ accuracy x3(+3), auto fire (+3), melee(-2), muscle powered(+1), undetectable (+4), only in (pocket dimension) (-2) {r-9, 36 mp} (magic focus- axe, 9 ep)

Special attack- finisher (once the Cataclysm combo is finished, a final strike sends the oponent back into the real world, damaged beyond belief)
(wish list- 1d8+body drain x3 (10 str, 10 con, 10 dex) (+6), muscle powered(+1), melee(-2), linked (dimension hop, material plain)(+1), only in (pocket dimension) (-2) {r-5, 5 mp} (magic focus-axe, 1 ep)

special attack- wrack bolt (with each strike of the Cataclysm combo, a bolt of wracking energy originating from my shadow dimension hits the defenseless opponent at the same time
(wish list- 1d8 +linked (cataclysm)(+2), drain body (dex)(+2), only in (pocket dimension)(-2) {r-3, 3 mp} (magic focus (axe) 1 ep)

Special attack- Phanotm Double (shadow copies surround and confuse my enemy, allowing me to strike while he is guardless)
(wish list- 1d8+ static (-2), melee (-2), undetectable(+4)) {r-1, 1 mp}

skills (8+int per lvl, 24 cp)
Base fort +4 (+8 total)
Base ref +4 (+8 total)
Base will +4 (+8 total)
(saves 12 cp)

19 str
18 dex
18 con
18 wis
10 int
8 cha

Feats: sneak attack x 6

11 bp from defects-
Marked level 3 (black full body tribal markings (when looked at, they appear to show outer space) and an inversed eye, white pupil with a black exterior, having elongated ears that point back (a-typical for most humanoids and common to most who live in the netherworld))

Achilles heel 2 (time spent on the netherworld has warped Genryu’s physiology, causing her to take extra damage from holy/positive energy attacks)

Bane 1 (holy symbols)

Blind fury 3 (having been raised on the netherworld, she prides herself as being one of those who raised her. Those that insult her heritage (calling her a demon wannabee, weakling human) are to be slain. However, those associated with the perpetrator may be attacked aswell)

Famous 1 (well-known throughout most of the civilized parts of the netherworld for her strength and her place in the overlords court)

Weak point 1 (white and black eye, which acts as a font for her powers)


While lacking true orgainization, she is basically complete, all her cp is spent. She is definately ready ...to be band for brokenness.

Not bad. I think I'll use the damage determines scope of special attack optional rule though (under Special Attack on page 62 if you have the full book) I hope that doesn't change anything to much. Looks good otherwise.

Now I just want a tasty background that gives me plenty of rope. :D
 

Sorry, but it looks like I'll have to drop out of this game. My home computer is dead (for anyone ina PbP game with me, this means my posting will be sporadic), and I was having trouble coming up with a concept anyways. But you know I'll be lurking.
